My black truck sits outside on full sun all day. I've bought two sun shades, both from Amazon and both advertised as "fits your truck", but neither fits.

Any suggestions on one that will fit well and get full coverage?

Here are the two I bought:

Plasticolor. This one was WAYYY too small and couldn't stand up. It didn't reach width or height of the window.

This motor trend one is like 2" too wide and 3" too short. It's close enough that i can kind of wedge it in there and hold it up by the visors, and get some shade. But not optimal for the summer.

The first one I bought was way too small also. It might have fit a Mini cooper or something so I bought one for a motorhome. It's too large, but with a clothespin on each visor the dash is completely protected.

I should add, the little one works really good in the rear window so that's where it goes when the truck is going to be parked for a few days.

Pay a little extra and get this. Bought in spring 18 and in my second truck now

I vote Covercraft. Couldn’t be happier, use them in both my vehicles.

I have several Covercraft sun shades and love them. They fit perfectly and work great. Definitely worth the extra cost.
